Works for me in Workspaces fine, maybe I'm missing something simple?
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
def disemvowel(word):
for vowel in vowels:
if vowel or vowel.upper() in word:
list_word = list(word)
if vowel in list_word:
list_word.remove(vowel)
word = ''.join(list_word)
continue
if vowel.upper() in list_word:
list_word.remove(vowel.upper())
word = ''.join(list_word)
else:
print(word)
break

The solution is quite complex, you could simplify by looping though the word, if the letter is not in vowels, add to a new string, return the new string.
